Description
In November 1863, at the battle of Rangiriri, over 180 Māori defenders were taken prisoner and marched up the Great South Road to Otahuhu, from where they were transferred onto the Waitematā Harbour.
There, they were held captive on the prison ship Marion for nearly eight months, supervised by their bilingual Pākehā Superintendent, Titus Angus White. He was also sent to retrieve them after their subsequent escape from Kawau Island.
Titus Angus White & the Maori Captives on Waitemata Harbour 1863/4 is the story of Titus Angus White and the men he ended up supervising as they were imprisoned only 600 metres off the Port of Auckland. It is also the wider story of the invasion of the Waikato and the circumstances that led to the establishment of New Zealand's largest ever floating prison.
